and that's why I said Truex should quit. I'd have come out of the car, thrown my helmet at Bowyer and punched Waltrip right in the face in front of God and country. Tell the world that you're not a cheater and a week later he'd be Kurt Busch's team mate with a big NAPA on the hood. Truex has always had a hard time knowing when to cut and run, wasted way too much time driving for Teresa too.

The way you put it, that sounds like it would have been a possible scenario.
Helluva chance for a driver to take though, trying to walk from a multi million $ contract.

From nascar.com;

Waltrip said Friday that he wouldn't hold Truex Jr., back, and if the 33-year-old sought work and opportunity elsewhere, such a split would be amicable.

"We asked if we could have a little time to try to figure this out and he agreed to that," Waltrip said of his conversation with Truex Jr. "If he came to me tomorrow and said I've got a deal to go do something, then obviously I would not hold him back. His support and loyalty for our organization has been amazing. He drove some kind of crappy cars when he first got to our shop. We were able to build those cars better, make them faster and he's been able to be a race-winning Chase guy. I owe him a lot for his loyalty and his passion for our team.

"I wouldn't hold him back from doing something that he wanted to do but what I would like him to do is hang around so we can attract a sponsor and keep him in our cars."

Dave ran the 22 for Bill Davis in 2007-8. I think it had Caterpillar as primary sponsor.

On another note,I see Hornish may be searching for a ride.This is good and bad,good because Ryan Blaney is rumored to be in line for that seat,bad because Sam,s from just down the road in Defiance Ohio,(I saw him at a Social Distortion concert a few years back)and may win the Nationwide series this year.Kinda like Johnny Benson,won the Busch series and Truck championship then went nowhere,bummer.

That would be a surprise to me. He and Penske seemed to have one of those forever relationships.

In an article about the involvement of the #22 team and the cheating scandal there was a statement about Sam. "He (Penske) also says he's yet to make a decision on Sam Hornish Jr's future. Hornish leads the Nationwide Series standings but has no Cup ride for 2014. Penske says he told Hornish to look around at other offers."

Keep Your eyes peeled next weekend at Charlotte. We'll have a car wrapped in Oskar Blues colors running the Nationwide Series. The Driver will be Landon Cassill. We'll be at the track and if any ADV'ers are there please come by and grab a beer.
